So, I just ordered a Nintendo Switch lite, and I was wondering, if I set my Nintendo Switch's region to "The Americas" there shouldn't be any problem redeeming codes bought on Amazon for games that say that they only work for US customers right? I live in Latin America, and I am not sure if there is a specific region that the Nintendo asks for, or if I only need to select "The Americas", so if I select the americas I suppose that I can use codes for games that have the US ONLY disclaimer. I don't know if it is a dumb reasoning or what, but if anyone knows if that is possible it would be great if you let me know!!
I think it's all about the region for your Nintendo ID, actually, @skull3072 .... As far as game releases go, there's usually only 4 of those! So, America is your 'region' as far as those go, whether it's North or South I've been able to redeem European codes, being in UK, so it should work the same
Your eshop is only controlled by the region you select in your Nintendo account at https://accounts.nintendo.com . You cannot affect your eshop with settings on the Switch console.
Regarding redeem codes from Amazon purchases: If you buy a digital game or DLC via Amazon, or another online store, I think you can trust they will work regardless of where you buy the game online, even from other countries. I've never heard anyone say they bought a digital game and couldn't use the redeem code. So, you should be fine where every you buy from
